A model designed by researchers from IFISC (UIB-CSIC), in collaboration with IMEDEA (UIB-CSIC), LIMIA (IRFAP) and INAGEA, develops an epidemiological model to comprehend marine epizooticsIn a new article written by IFISC and the University of Buenos Aires, the researchers analyse …
Identifying the acidification trend of the Balearic Sea using artificial intelligence
Sept. 5, 2022
This study highlights the use of machine learning to characterize the pH decline in the Balearic Sea, a key task in assessing the impacts of climate change on marine biodiversity. The results show a trend of pH decline similar to …
Voces, CSIC Balears: Quantum Reservoir Computing, quantum networks and outreach
June 27, 2022
IFISC (UIB-CSIC) and the Institutional Representation of CSIC in the Balearic Islands join forces and create "Voces, CSIC Balears", a bimonthly podcast for the dissemination of science. Through interviews with scientists working at CSIC's centres in the Balearic Islands, it …
Physics to understand the Ukrainian conflict
May 25, 2022
Two researchers from IFISC (UIB-CSIC) have analyzed the existence of "the two Ukranias" using statistical physics tools: the data-based evidence does not support this hypothesis.Massimiliano Zanin and Johann Martinez, researchers at IFISC (UIB-CSIC), have analyzed the Ukrainian conflict from the …
Boosting the efficiency of quantum heat engines
May 6, 2022
A team of researchers from IFISC (UIB-CSIC) has demonstrated that a quantum chiral conductor driven by an alternating current voltage can operate with efficiencies much higher than the hitherto insurmountable Carnot limit. In the paper, published in Nature Communications, the …
